The Good Part of Dallas ...

Too much chaos on this trip to Dallas (oh the sacrifices we make for our hair!), but these were just glimpses of the good parts until all of the crud-e-dud broke loose!


Gracyn and Kaitlyn: Girls gotta stick together!

Dear Mom, it's mesh, so I still see you ...

Hey Mom, look what Dodi lets me do!

There is so much personality wrapped up in this itty, bitty body that sometimes it's just BURSTING to get out!

Kaitlyn's photography ... Mom almost made it into a picture

My cousins llllloooooovvvvvveeeee ME!

Ahhh, relax, I'm with a pro!

Mom, you still there?

Getting late, but hanging tight

Kait-bug is getting sooo big!

Just Another Weekend ...

Lovin' on Nana

Silly Poppy!

Momma & Me

Go TECH!

For Texas Tech's first game of the season we had to try on our cheerleading outfit!


Cas' college roommate, Josh, came to visit and is fighting for Godfather status

Wow, lovin' those cheeks!

New Clothes!

I'm having a blast putting Gracyn in her new size of clothes ... thank you to all of her aunts, grandmothers and admirers!

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall ...

Nothing makes this girl happier than a mirror! It's like she's found a new friend every time!

Are we teething???

I'm constantly being told Gracyn is teething. I just nod, say okay, and then pray, "oh please God, not yet!" My girl is definitely a chewer though: bib, burp cloth, clothes, fingers, phones, paper, whatever! Thought you might like these pics ... and no, I still haven't been cooking!

I'm Rolling All Over the Place!

A few weeks ago, Gracyn started rolling consistently and now there is just no stopping her! As soon as you lay her on her back she flips onto her belly, and you can tell her view of the world has just entirely changed! Cas and I are loving every new moment with her!

July Visit to Dallas

Okay, it's time to play catch-up! Since going back to work and moving into our new home there hasn't been much time for blog updates. We are so thankful for all of our blessings but now hope that things will settle down and we can find balance again!

This was Gracyn's 2nd visit to Dallas and her 1st time to actually get in the pool...


Cousins: Donovan, Cameron, Gracyn (ooooh, another mirror!), Kaitlyn and Nicholas


"I don't get it, Aunt T, what are we doing?"


"Nope, still don't get it."

"Okay, now what?"

"Ahhhh, now this I know: twirl hair, suck passy, close eyes .... finally."
